Stigma Love's Algorithm [ A BTS x Reader Poly ]

Chapter 79: Interrupted Kisses & Unfinished Business

"Damn. Now that's rich-people privilege."

I blinked. "Wait, so... we can just take stuff?"

Namjoon chuckled. "Yeah. He'd probably be offended if we didn't."

Tae's grin stretched wide. "Well, in that case, why are we still sitting here?"

With sudden enthusiasm, he grabbed both of our hands and yanked us to our feet.

"Let's go raid this place and become the most fashionable trio this mountain has ever seen!"

I barely had time to grab my coat before he practically dragged us out of the library, his excitement utterly contagious.

The shop was nestled near the main lodge, its large windows showcasing mannequins dressed in sleek, high-end winter gear.

Inside, it was a paradise of plush scarves, designer snow boots, and racks upon racks of coats in every imaginable style and color.

A massive stone fireplace crackled in the corner, adding to the cozy atmosphere.

The store smelled like cedar and fresh wool, with a hint of something sweet-maybe cinnamon from the hot cocoa station in the back.

Tae released our hands and spun in a slow circle, taking it all in with wide, appreciative eyes.

"I feel like a kid in a candy store."

Joon smirked, running a hand over a thick knit scarf. "More like a prince raiding his own castle."

I traced my fingers along a soft cashmere coat, marveling at the quality.

"This stuff looks expensive."

Joon shot me a knowing look.

"Jin hyung would probably be offended if we didn't take advantage of it. Consider it an all-inclusive experience."

Before I could respond, Taehyung was already pulling things off the racks.

"Alright, we're doing a fashion show. No arguments. Y/N noona, find something that makes you look like an expensive heiress on a winter vacation."

I laughed, shaking my head, but before I could protest, Joon was already nudging me toward a display of coats.

"Come on, let's make this fun."

The playful challenge in his voice made my heart flutter. I grinned.

"Fine. But you two are dressing up too."

"Obviously," Taehyung said, already drowning in a massive, fluffy fur-trimmed parka.

And with that, the game began.

The three of us turned the boutique into our own private runway.

Taehyung was the most dramatic, of course, emerging from the fitting rooms in an all-white ensemble that made him look like a high-fashion snow prince.
